Chunyang First Headmaster

Chapter 214 Shaking the foundation of Taoism
With the sound of the Buddha's trumpet, a monk wearing ocher yellow robes strode up to Ziyun Terrace. This person is less than 50 years old, wearing cloth and sandals, and his face is full of energy. It seems that there is a faint flow of Buddha's light. Generally speaking, it makes people feel admiration and closeness spontaneously.

Hearing a cold snort, someone stood up and shouted: "My Xuanmen Grand Ceremony, why did a great monk come here? Could it be to disturb the Chongyang Ceremony?"

The monk didn't think about it, instead he folded his hands together and saluted, "It turns out that the Gezao Mountain Lingbao Sect is the head teacher of Qingyang Daojun. The little monk Yanzhi has met Qingyang Daojun!"

The Daoist Lord Qingyang was about sixty years old, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with a few sparse beards, a straight nose and a square mouth, but a ruddy complexion, obviously a successful practitioner of Xuangong.He was slightly taken aback, and said in surprise, "You recognize me?"

Monk Yanzhi smiled and said: "Ge Zao Lingbao is from Gexuan Ge Xianweng's sect of Shangqing, and it is one of the three schools of scriptures and seal scripts. There was a Taixuan Chongde Yijiao real person in his ancestors, who was proficient in "Shangqing Lingbao Dafa" and educated. This little monk has always been very respectful of persuasion, so I have inquired carefully about the life of Daoist Qingyang, and even though I haven't seen it, I can recognize his spiritual treasure cultivation."

Daoist Qingyang snorted, but he was wary of Dasheng in his heart, he frowned and said: "Since you know me, I won't make things difficult for you, just go down the mountain!"

Monk Yanzhi chuckled, shook his head and said: "Young monk, I came here just to ask questions, how can I leave without saying a word?"

"Ask?" Everyone was furious, and someone yelled sharply, "Absurd! I am talking about Taoism, and what kind of Taoism do you come to ask?" Taoist Miaoshan, who was serving in the audience, also shouted: "Monk! , how did you come up? Where are my Emei disciples guarding the intersection?"

"Amitabha!" Monk Yanzhi proclaimed the Buddha's name and said with a smile, "The monks have the virtue of caring for life, so how could they kill so easily? It's just that the disciples of your sect intend to commit murder, and I have no choice but to let them rest for a while..."

"Take a break?" Taoist Miaoshan's face changed, and he jumped to the entrance of the mountain road. He saw several Emei disciples guarding the entrance lying in disorder by the roadside, poking their mouths and noses with their hands, and felt that they were breathing evenly. Apparently he was knocked unconscious, but fortunately his life was unharmed.

"Who am I? It turns out to be the head of Moke of Zhaojue Temple!" From the pavilion of Qingcheng School, an old Taoist slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Monk Yanzhi, are you not in your Nirvana Hall?" Xiu, what are you doing here at Emei?"

Monk Yanzhi laughed and said: "So it's the true elder of Qingcheng, it's been a long time since I've seen you! This little monk came here uninvited, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Zhaojue Temple was once named Jianyuan Temple, known as the "No. [-] Zen Forest" and "No. [-] Congregation Forest" in western Sichuan. , it is true that those who come are not kind, and those who are kind do not come, everyone immediately took heart.

Everyone was attracted by Monk Yanzhi, and Xiao Qianli seemed to be paying attention to the movement here, but most of his attention fell on Taoist Xuanguan on the stage. A look of relief flashed by.

Fortunately, Xiao Qianli's attention never left Taoist Xuanguan for half a minute, otherwise, how could he be so scheming and unequivocal as the head of the generation, how could it be easy for people to catch his flaws?It's just this subconscious expression, but Xiao Qian's heart suddenly became clear - this monk Yanzhi came uninvited, and this Taoist Xuanguan clearly knew it in his heart.

During the Xuanmen Discussion at the Double Ninth Festival, a great monk suddenly appeared, who had an unclear relationship with Emei. No matter how you looked at this situation, it seemed strange.Xiao Qianli's eyes are already narrowed, this matter is getting more and more interesting...

Monk Yanzhi gave a big Buddhist gift to everyone, and bowed respectfully to Taoist Xuanguan who was on the stage, and said with a smile: "I don't want to be a bad guest, but I have studied Buddhist scriptures for many years. I don’t know. I heard that Taoism and Chongyang talk about Taoism, and I dared to ask for advice. If any Taoist sage can solve my doubts, I will immediately apologize to everyone and go down the mountain immediately. Wherever Taoist friends come, I will definitely stay away.”

Just a few words caused the audience to be furious, Elder Zhizhen sneered and said, "You don't understand the Buddhist scriptures, but you want to ask about Taoism? If there is something unclear in my Taoism, why don't you still come to ask Buddhism? "

Monk Yanzhi smiled and said: "Otherwise, this sutra is related to Taoist Taiqing, so you must ask about it!"

"Xuanmen is too clear?"

Hearing these words, the huge Ziyun Terrace suddenly fell silent.After a while, Taoist Xuanguan said in a deep voice: "Since it involves my Daoist Sanqing Patriarch, please tell me!"

Monk Yanzhi paused, and said slowly: "A few days ago, the little monk came across a copy of "Laojun Kaitian Jing". I don't know who wrote it. It was said in the scriptures: It was time for the Taishang Laojun to be born as a human being... ...At that time, the old gentleman must have white hair, he can walk as soon as he climbs up, he grows a lotus flower, and even reaches nine, pointing to the sky with his left hand and pointing to the earth with his right hand, and told people: "In the sky and in the world, I am the only one."

After hearing the words, all the Taoists nodded again and again, and the elder Zhizhen stroked his beard and smiled: "These words are not wrong at all. Not only the "Kaitian Jing", but also the "Hua Hu Jing" in my Taoist sect. , "Xuan Miao Nei Pian", "Yi Xia Lun" and many other scriptures all record this matter. It can be seen that the old gentleman's transformation of Hu is a conclusion!"

Monk Yanzhi chuckled, bowed to Elder Zhizhen, and said, "Elder Zhizhen really has a lot of knowledge, but I don't know one thing. How old was the old gentleman? How many years did he go to the west?"

Elder Zhizhen laughed and said: "Yanzhi, you are the head of Zhaojue Moke. It is rumored that you have extensive knowledge and strong memorization, and you have studied Buddhist principles intensively, but you don't know about my Taoism. , the old gentleman was born in Qurenli, Li Township, Ku County, Chen County, Chu State, at midnight on September 85th. At the age of [-], he entered Huahu with Yin Xixi, the order of Hanguan."

Hearing this, Xiao Qianli's mind flashed: "Oops!"

Sure enough, the monk laughed and said: "My Buddha was born on April 24th in the 340th year of King Zhao, counted from 420 years after Nirvana to the third year of King Ding, Lao Tzu Fang was born, to the first year of King Jing, and in [-] years of Fanjing, he was born with Yin Xixi Escape. Wouldn't it be a big joke to slip the world!"

"Such a sharp argument, such a vicious mind!" Xiao Qian was calculating quickly in his heart, but his eyes fell on Taoist Xuanguan, thinking secretly, "What is Emei thinking? Could it be that this monk is used as an opportunity to Shake the foundation of Taoism?"

For many years, Taoism has been suppressed by Buddhism, but it has always used the experience of "Lao Tzu passed the test and transformed Hu" to encourage himself and seek some comfort. "Even Sakyamuni of your Buddhism was transformed by the preaching of the Taoist patriarch. One day, we will definitely make a comeback and regain the number one sect in the Central Plains!"

What if even "Passing the Customs and Huahu" proves to be a fake?Wouldn't it destroy all the self-esteem of people in Taoism?

Those present are all Taoist elites, so naturally they would not tell lies against their conscience, and wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start.On the huge Ziyun Terrace, there was only the howling of the mountain wind, not even a single voice.
